😠 The Little Annoyances Of Everyday Life (Part 1)

The Sun. Too hot. Too bright.

Miserable bugger.

You dreamed it you can buy a new styled one there or an old styled second hand one.

Stonehenge.

Why are people still pretending that it’s been standing since the dawn of time?

It’s just there to swindle tourists.

I always found the original one far more entertaining…Spinal Tap didn’t get things out of proportion like these “New Age” Hipsters do.

What we see today is actually heavily reconstructed and tidied up. This is what John Constable painted back in 1835.

The sky was purple in 1835 ? Well I never knew that !!

Please let that be a question if I ever take part in a pub quiz :lou_sunglasses:

It’s no older than me - it was cemented in during the 60s.

It started off as a pile of rubble and various tourist authorities keep on building it up again and pretending it’s old.

Don’t believe the hype.

Agree…the '60s Pebble Dash is a dead giveaway.

Fucking building contractors - dont worry we will have your air con fixed by Friday

A bit fucking late then isnt it

I beg to differ, they were making the old style ones, but it stopped 14 years ago not 10. :wink:

Yep last Beetle rolled off the line of the VW factory in Mexico in July 30th 2003…

So he dreamed it you cannot buy a new old styled beetle only a 14 year old one ?

Yes but 14 years ago you could still buy a new one (I said 10) but I knew manafactoring was in Mexico. Now of course you cannot buy an old style new one. Confusing this.

@philippinesaint (after the title of this thread) :lou_wink_2:

When you open a beer and have just raised it to your lips, when you hear the words “Can you just do this before your settle down”

why I couldn’t have been asked to do this when I was stood around doing nothing ten minutes earlier is beyond me.

I read today that a sniper had killed an Isis member who was 2 miles away. Whilst it is good that lives may have been saved by this action, should it be crowed all over social media that someone has lost their life thanks to improvements in technology in the armenants trade? Do your job, fine. But make a big deal about it? Great you killed one person. Walk into a crowded area with a suicide vest and you can kill so many more.

Seeing the job you’ve been waiting for being advertised. Then finding out it’s not to replace someone leaving but also making two people in post (who you know) have to reapply for their job.

I don’t understand this @intiniki are they making one of the persons in the post redundant ?

There were 3 posts. 1 person is leaving so I thought that post would be advertised. When I see the advert it’s for 2 posts. I then hear from a friend that they are not replacing the person leaving but thee two people in the other posts already have to re-apply (along with any external people). Those 2 people have previously acted up in post and had an interview for the permanent post. So bit confused that it’s advertised again. Hope that makes it clearer.
